In their words
- “This is the first film entirely scripted by Kurosawa since 1945 when he made The Man Who Tread on the Tiger's Tail. Kurosawa typically worked with at least one other screenwriter, sometimes more. His shift to writing solo correlates with some changes in the films that he made.” [0:07] Dreams (1990)
- “The sequence took 13 days to shoot, one of the longest in the film. Two of its most striking features are the use of slow motion and the sound design. Kurosawa used three high-speed cameras running at 72 frames per second, three times the normal speed at which film is shot.” [30:30] Dreams (1990)
- “He said that dreams are a wellspring of creativity and that each dreamer is a genius inside their own dreams. Kurosawa has aimed to celebrate this energy, this spark of life, and in doing so to draw closer to the now vanished world of his youth and a Japan that he could remember forever in his mind's eye but could no longer recognize in the world about him.” [1:55:20] Dreams (1990)
